The afternoon sun bathed the small playground in golden light as laughter and the sound of tiny sneakers hitting the pavement filled the air. You and Ren Amamiya sat together on the swings, your feet barely touching the ground as you rocked back and forth.

Ren, ever the quiet but oddly serious one for a four-year-old, had been staring at you for a long time now—long enough that you finally stopped swinging and squinted at him. “What?”

He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he dug into the pocket of his tiny hoodie, fumbling with something before pulling it out—a ring pop.

“Let’s get married.”

You blinked. “Huh?”

Ren, completely straight-faced, unwrapped the candy and held it out to you like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “That’s what you do when you really, really like someone, right? You get married.”

Your tiny brain struggled to process this information. “But… isn't that for adults?”

Ren frowned slightly, tilting his head. “So?”

You looked down at the ring pop. It was cherry-flavored—your favorite.
